We calculate holographically arbitrary n-point correlators of the boundary stress tensor in three-dimensional Einstein gravity with negative or vanishing cosmological constant. We provide explicit expressions up to 5-point (connected) correlators and show consistency with the Galilean conformal field theory Ward identities and recursion relations of correlators, which we derive. This provides a novel check of flat space holography in three dimensions.

Stress Tensor Correlators in the Schwinger - Keldysh Formalism

We express stress tensor correlators using the Schwinger-Keldysh formalism. The absence of off-diagonal counterterms in this formalism ensures that the +− and −+ correlators are free of primitive divergences. We use dimensional regularization in position space to explicitly check this at one loop order for a massless scalar on a flat space background. We use the same procedure to show that the ...

Holography and the Polyakov action

In two dimensional conformal field theory the generating functional for correlators of the stress-energy tensor is given by the non-local Polyakov action associated with the background geometry. We study this functional holographically by calculating the regularized on-shell action of asymptotically AdS gravity in three dimensions, associated with a specified (but arbitrary) boundary metric. Th...

From AdS/CFT correspondence to hydrodynamics. II. Sound waves

As a non-trivial check of the non-supersymmetric gauge/gravity duality, we use a near-extremal black brane background to compute the retarded Green’s functions of the stress-energy tensor in N = 4 super-Yang-Mills (SYM) theory at finite temperature. For the long-distance, low-frequency modes of the diagonal components of the stress-energy tensor, hydrodynamics predicts the existence of a pole i...

Gravity Duals for Logarithmic Conformal Field Theories

Logarithmic conformal field theories with vanishing central charge describe systems with quenched disorder, percolation or dilute self-avoiding polymers. In these theories the energy momentum tensor acquires a logarithmic partner. In this talk we address the construction of possible gravity duals for these logarithmic conformal field theories and present two viable candidates for such duals, na...
